Recorded Live at the Monterey Jazz Festival is a live album by saxophonist John Handy, recorded in 1965 and released in 1966. It is Handy's most famous album,[citation needed] and his debut on Columbia. The original album only features two long instrumental pieces, notable for their "free form", a peculiar use of harmonies and unusual instruments (violin and guitar along with more "classic" jazz instruments are uncommon in jazz music). The bonus track "Tears of Ole Miss (Anatomy of a Riot)", which was added to the now out-of-print 1996 CD edition, was originally featured on New View!.

The album is mentioned in 1995 Charles Burnett's short film When It Rains.[2] Music critic Ralph J. Gleason called the lineup on the album "an exciting group and one of that will make jazz history".[3] Notwithstanding the praises and its relevance, Recorded Live at the Monterey Jazz Festival still remains a little-known album.[citation needed]

This album is also number 67 in a list titled "The 100 Jazz Albums That Shook the World", published by Jazzwise magazine.[4]

It was accorded five stars in the Encyclopedia of Popular Music.[5]
